EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The General Assembly of the Organization of American States, the apex authority of our
Organization, and the Summits of Heads of State and Government of the Americas held in recent years,
have acknowledged the tremendous potential of information and communications technologies (ICTs) as
a transformative agent of society and fundamental tool for the positive change sought in our region
through broad access for everyone to information and education and, therefore, as support for promoting
democracy, defending human rights, ensuring security, and promoting integral development and
prosperity in the Hemisphere. No modern economy can compete or participate in global markets without
access to modern, secure, and effective information networks.
We in CITEL consider that it is by sharing views and experiences that the best investment
promotion policies can be achieved and optimal use of new technologies ensured. Through the work of
the Committees of CITEL, recommendations are generated on policy and regulatory aspects, new
technologies and services to promote infrastructure deployment, innovation, and the development of new
services benefiting users of telecommunication services.
Increased demand for services and applications requiring broadband Internet access is putting
pressure on network capacity and making it necessary to adopt optimal technological standards,
modernize and expand available infrastructure, and establish models best geared to each country’s
conditions, especially in allocating radio spectrum to avanced wireless services, particularly for those
services most suitable for information transmission at higher speeds and lower costs.
CITEL, at the Sixth Regular Meeting of its Assembly, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican
Republic, in February this year, addressed, among other things, the challenges of promoting regulatory
frameworks for and strategies on telecommunications/information and communication technology (ICT)
infrastructure that promote competition, investment, innovation, quality, users’ rights, and public-private
partnerships. In addition, the Member States, in the Declaration of Santo Domingo, agreed to strengthen
CTIEL’s role as the principal intergovernmental organization in the area of ICTs, identifying, promoting,
and implementing measures aimed at ensuring the financial and operational sustainability of CITEL.

6. MAINSTREAMING GENDER IN THE WORK OF CITEL
CITEL encourages full and equal participation by women in decision-making at every level,
especially in aspects related to facilitating and promoting the harmonized and integral development of
telecommunications, including information and communications technologies (ICTs), bearing in mind
that they are an integral part of activities to create societies in which everyone can participate and
contribute. Therefore, they are instruments that can promote gender equality.
CITEL’s Coordination Center for the Development of Human Resources has responsibility for
selecting the activities of the telecommunication training program that addresses the needs of the Member
States of CITEL. In the process of selecting the program’s participants, promotion of gender equality is
accorded special attention, pursuant to the operative section of resolution COM/CITEL RES. 160 (XIII-
03).
16
Evidence has shown the central importance of ICTs, especially to national economic and social
development. These technologies are the motor driving the current economic model, based on the
Information and Knowledge-based Society. ICTs can also promote women’s economic, political, and
social empowerment and contribute to consolidating gender equality in the region. However, all that
potential can only be realized to the extent that the gender assymmetries are overcome that limit women’s
full and equal participation in the Information Society, which implies a need for gender mainstreaming in
digital policies and agendas. On October 13, 2014, an online meeting was held with the Inter-American
Commission of Women (CIM) and the national machinery for the advancement of women in the OAS
member states on the “Contribution of women to sustainable development and economic growth,” whose
aim was to address, from a gender perspective, the situation of women in ICTs in Latin America and the
Caribbean, as well as the challenges of ensuring that ICTs assist women in making an effective
contribution to sustainable development and economic growth.
The Conference Preparatory Working Group to address Regional Preparations for World
Conferences and Meetings approved a draft inter-American proposal for the World Telecommunication
Development Conference (WTDC-14) (Dubai, United Arab Emirates, March 30 to April 10, 2014),
containing a proposed modfication to Resolution 55 (Doha, 2006), “Promoting gender equality towards
all-inclusive information societies,” and a draft inter-American proposal for the 2014 Plenipotentiary
Conference (Busan, October 20 to November 7, 2014), containing a proposed modification to Resolution
70 (Rev. Guadalajara, 2010), “Gender mainstreaming in ITU and promotion of gender equality and the
empowerment of women through information and communication technologies.” Those Conferences
adopted these two proposals virtually modification.
7. COOPERATION RELATIONS WITH REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Cooperation by CITEL with international and regional organizations is a means to improve
efficiency, avoid duplication of effort, and reduce dispute resolution time by considering different issues
at an early stage. The objective of these agreements is to ensure that, through cooperation with other
organizations on matters of common interest, synergies will be obtained that will enhance the efficiency
of the parties. In general, cooperation agreements provide for coordination and cooperation in carrying
out activities that both parties have included in their annual work programs, such as the organization of
seminars on subjects of common interest, collaboration in joint projects, and joint training and
publications. In addition, they provide for access by the parties to documents and publications pertaining
to their programs and activities.
CITEL also participates in interregional meetings with the criterion of strengthening dialogue
with the representatives of regional telecommunication organizations throughout the world on matters
addressed in international telecommunication organizations, such as the International Telecommunication
Union (ITU). This relationship facilitates work during conferences.
The table below shows the 19 organizations with which CITEL has signed cooperation

8.3 Protocol of Amendment to the Inter-American Convention on the International
Amateur Radio Permit (IARP)
At its thirty-third regular session, the OAS General Assembly, in resolution AG/RES. 1947
(XXXIII-O/03), adopted the Protocol of Amendment to the Inter-American Convention on the Amateur
Radio Permit, intended to grant holders of the Radio Amateur License of the member countries of the
European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) that have implemented
CEPT’s Recommendation T/R 61-01, “CEPT Radio Amateur License” the same rights and privileges
granted to IARP holders of CITEL Member States that become States Parties to the Protocol, while CEPT
extends to holders of IARPs the same privileges and exemptions granted to holders of CEPT Radio
Amateur Licenses of the member countries of CEPT that have implemented the aforementioned
Recommendation.
This new procedure will reduce the countries’ workload and, therefore, the costs involved, and
will be of fundamental importance, particularly in emergencies. The OAS General Secretariat is the
depository for instruments of RA, AC, and AD.

All Member States are requested to assist in distributing the scholarship offerings so as to have
candidates from all States, thereby achieving greater geographic distribution.
The terms on which courses are offered by the Regional Training Centers and the ITU were
adopted by the above-mentioned COM/CITEL resolution. These are:
1. The maximum number of students in each distance course group shall be: 35 participants.
2. The maximum tuition fee for all distance education courses with scholarships through CITEL will be
US$200.

3. That 10% of the total amount collected from tuition fees from all participants in distance learning
courses offered through the ITU Center of Excellence platform will be deposited in an account to be
used as seed budget for the course program in coming years. The use of such seed budget will be
authorized by the Coordination for the Development of Human Resources.
The initial scholarship program for 2015 included below was adopted by resolution COM/CITEL
259 (XXIX-14) at the XXIX Meeting of the Permanent Executive Committee of CITEL, and takes into
account the training needs priorities of the Member States and the course offerings received from the
Regional Training Centers and Center of Excellence of the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU). In preparing the initial program, it was assumed that an OAS Regular Fund allocation of US$5,000
would be made to telecommunication scholarship program. This initial program was prepared before the
results of the Professional Development Scholarships Program Competition and the actual Regular Fund
allocation for telecommunication scholarships (the above-mentioned US$5,000) were known. Therefore,
when this information is available, there may be modifications to this program.

12. RESOLUTIONS TO BE SENT TO THE OAS GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Draft resolution presented at the XXIX Meeting of the Permanent Executive Committee of CITEL that
includes the comments made by the Member States following its distribution.
AG/RES. XXXX (XLV-O/15)
PROMOTION OF COOPERATION THROUGH CITEL TO IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY IN
THE AMERICAS
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY,
CONSIDERING:
That, even though American States have taken steps to develop their own telecommunications
infrastructure, since it helps improve access to the Internet, especially in rural, isolated, or poorly serviced
areas, there are still significant gaps in the region. This is a challenge, taking into account that this is a
determining factor for the economic and social growth of these countries;
Both the increasing development of the Internet and the access to broadband are blurring geographical,
economic and time barriers, posing new regulatory challenges with respect to the different technologies
available, as well as access to and interconnection between the different networks;
That the existence of a telecommunications and Internet infrastructure with adequate coverage in both
rural and urban areas will facilitate the development of educational, cultural and health programs, and
provide access to public services and e-Government. This will actively contribute to the development of a
new generation of workers with training in and knowledge of technology,
OBSERVING:
That the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL), as the main intergovernmental
agency of the OAS for everything related to telecommunications/ICTs, promotes dialogue and the
establishment of synergies between governments, the private sector, the civil society, academic
institutions, and international agencies, with a view to improving connectivity as an essential tool to
reduce the digital divide.
RECOGNIZING:
That in 2014, in accordance with its mandates, the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission
(CITEL) has:
a. Developed and approved 28 and 44 Inter-American Proposals, which were submitted and mostly
adopted, respectively, at the 2014 World Telecommunications Development Conference and the
2014 Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), thus
ensuring that the voice of the Americas region is strongly heard within this global forum;
b. Provided a suitable environment for the exchange of experiences and best practices among its
Member States, making it possible to maintain updated legal and regulatory frameworks that are
31
predictable, consistent, non-discriminatory and transparent, and which will contribute to the
development of telecommunications/information and communication technologies (ICTs);
c. Through CITEL's regional training centers and the ITU's Center of Excellence for the Americas
Region, it has offered 19 training courses and more than 100 scholarships to people from the
Americas on telecommunications/ICT topics that are essential for the region;
d. Approved different recommendations to ensure interoperability and the timely introduction of
advanced technologies and services; the harmonization of the radio spectrum and the operation of
radiocommunication and development services, as well as the implementation of economic
aspects to promote the development of telecommunications services and networks;
e. Organized seminars, workshops and virtual tutorials about priority issues for the countries;
f. Continued the preparation of the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference, which will
analyze the technical foundations of the different topics that will enable spectrum sharing
between different services, thus meeting the increasingly higher spectrum needs of innovative
applications and wireless services, and review the international treaty, called Radio Regulations,
that governs the use of the radio frequency spectrum and satellite orbits,
HAVING SEEN:
The Strategic Plan of CITEL for the 2014-2018 period, established in the Sixth Ordinary Meeting of the
Assembly of CITEL, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from February 10 to 13, 2014,
RESOLVES:
1. To reassert the commitments undertaken in the instruments, resolutions and declarations on
telecommunications / information and communication technologies (ICTs) within the framework of the
Organization of American States (OAS).
2. To ask the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission to:
Further promote the use of all appropriate telecommunication/ICT means to facilitate the
development and effective implementation of these services, particularly in rural, isolated and
poorly services areas;
Continue, with its existing resources, holding seminars, offering specialized training, promoting
the exchange of experiences and lessons learned, and raising awareness about the impact of
telecommunication/ICTs, especially in developing countries, to raise their technological level;
Encourage the development of innovative models, in order to reduce the digital divide in
developing countries;
Promote the establishment of preparedness plans to effectively address emergencies caused by
natural disasters, to which all countries in this region are exposed;
Propose effective public policies to support the development of information and communication
technologies (ICTs) in the Region;
3. To urge Member States to:
Participate in the activities of CITEL, in order to ensure greater regional representation in the
discussions;
Promote the use of information and communication technologies, in particular the availability of
Internet broadband access infrastructure, as an essential element to encourage mass access to
information and knowledge;
Increase their active participation in the preparatory and follow-up process regarding high-level
international meetings on telecommunications, particularly with respect to the preparation of
inter-American proposals, positions and coordinated points of view;
32
Promote and disseminate the implementation of CITEL's recommendations;
Intensify efforts to adopt national plans and the necessary strategies to improve connectivity in the
region;
Establish a proactive national and regional strategic vision as an important means to achieve
better results in the international sphere;
4. To request the General Secretariat of the OAS to continue providing the necessary financial
support to CITEL, in order to guarantee the continuity of the implementation of its mandates.
5. To invite Member States, Permanent Observers, and national or international public or private
entities to make voluntary contributions to support the development and implementation of the projects
and programs of CITEL.
6. To request CITEL to submit a follow-up report on the implementation of this resolution during
the XLVI Ordinary Period of Sessions of the General Assembly.
